A LABOR PLATFORM.

The Union Labor party, of Ohio, has
met in conYention'and put forth it's decla-
ration of principles5 aasyngpsis of-misielf

noted that on the ticket nominated there
is not a name eminent in reform, mes
chanics, pniianthropby Or political
knowledge. We fan to findth names 81
nominees, says the Sacramento Union,
who have been heard Of outside Of Ohio
and the suggestion may be ventured that
they have not been much known within
the State. The labor Interests ought to
be able to enlist for candidates men of
some distinguished prominence in reform
movements, whose past public endeayor
would constitute a guarantee for their
future.
The platform-the first in the field this
year-has in it elements of mixed good
and i'll. The resolution which demands,
that the laws against the EN- ployment of
bribery, force or intimidation to secure
the nomination or election to pubticpf
fee be rigidly enforced, is sound and
commendable, and can challenge no is.

lunches at saloons shall be declared

is scarcely any possibility Of any, such
penal offenses being defined by hsyfih
this day. 1t was tried in New York, with
no success, ard the better Judgment
there is that such matters are best left to
the regulative control Of commercial
laws. Any system as yet devised to cor
rect speculatiop is lame and batting. In
an ideal state Of society it may be possi-

The pertubations of the interstate
law are not confined to the
west and south. They extend to YER
mont. The farmers Of that state are
up in arms against their leading rail-
road, the Vermont Centred, for charg-
ne more on produce carried entirely
within the state, and froII points with
in the state to Boston, than similar pro-
duce brought all the way from Michi-
gan through Canada to Boston The
result of this discrimination against
them is that they are handicapped III
the competition with western farmers
and farming in Vermont is placed at q
disadvantage. The railroads plea IN
defence of the discrimination is that
il must get the western business to
enable it to live, and IL cannot get 1t
without hauling it at lower rates than
il allows to the way traffice.

The French FLAG.

Cornhlll Magazine: In the twelfth
century the lleur-de-lys became pccu-
larry French and royal, and in 1928
Philippe Auguste powdered his white
banner with gold ieurs-de-lys; and
again Il hundred years later, Charles
vi. adopted a blue flag with a white
cross-a cross rs distinctive Of their
soldiery as the red was Of ours. In
the fifteenth century the flag had a
blue field. not powdered with lilies but
charged with three, and was for the
first time attached to the staff. From
Francis /. to Louis XIV. the rcgi-
mental colors (whlte, we suppose).
bore arms and emblems selected by
the colonies; the white flag, unchanged,
was the personal and distinctive M
blem OF the colOnel-goneral, was finally
adopted by Louis XIV, himself, and
became the kings own flag. But then
white had been known as the royal color
since the days when the Protestants
(who took it rs an emblem Of their
superior purity were joined by Henry
Ill. an emblem that ut the battle Of
Ivry in 1890 became, as the ensign Of
Henry W.. both royal and national,
and so disposed of the old blue flag
with the white cross. Till the revolu-
ton. whatever the flag, the lilies Of
France were the national emblems;
then came the eagle of the republic
and the empire surmountirg the tri-
color; 1915 brought back the BOURBON
white and 1880 ousted il; and now it
is clear that the national Tag Of France
is the ~tri-color, OF which the disposi-
ton Is. by law-the blue fixed TO the
staff. the wife in the center ant the red
in the air. The Gallo cock, Of which
one sometimes hears. seems TO have
been temporary caprice OF Louis XIV.

M I'M ANNAM

Marriage settlements and doWries
are not recognized on account OF the
difficulties that might arise in case u
the marriage is dissolved. According
to Annamite custom the woman should
not bear the charges OF marriage, be-
cause she takes the name OF her nus
oand and associates herself with him
in order TO perpetuate his family, not
for the sake OF her own. 1t is just or
the husband, in his W personal
interest, TO furnish all that she and her
children may need; yet. according TO
another custom frequently followed,
the suitor whose character is not well
known should make several visits to
the family OF his a~ilianced so as to sub
nit himself TO q kind of testing, often
very severe, which shall permit MS
value and the amount of his knowledge
70 be rated. This stage of the nego-
tiations sometimes lasts for severai
years.
Marriage is usually contracted by
inclination, without money consioera-
tons entering into the clatter. The
family is regarded as q coral union'
and not as a business association
hence it is common to see d
wealthy family allied with a poor one.
1t is considered that when a man
marries a girl without fortune but WISE
ly brought no she will be easily touched
by the care he viii take OF her u be
obedient to his authority. Then 1t Is
not rich. TO exact a dowry from a girl
whose education has already imposed
on her parents large sacrifices OF time
and money, and who has, moreover
abandoned her family name TO lake
that of a stranger, so there IL no
dowrv. The parents give their daugh'
ter what they please, withoutth M young
man being allowed to claim or stipu'
late for anything. Sometimes they re-
on;re him to make considerable pres
ants. which will be the sole property of
the wife. 1t must not be supposed thai
the condition of wives is the same IN
AMMAN as in China. The six ceremo-
MES of marriage are, it is true nearly
.aa son,e in both countries; but, While
he Chinese wife has to keep to her
apartments, the Annamite wife IS tre"'-
ed as the equal OF her husband.
